November 22nd Smoke Report
Posted: Sun Nov 21, 2021 11:03 pm
Another great weather weekend in North Carolina. A little cool and windy but it is late November in North Carolina. Buccaneer shot Saturday and I do not have any scores from that shoot. Going to be slim pickings for shoots this weekend considering it is Thanksgiving.
Lots of folks showed up this month that passed including Lewis Wyatt, Earl Scripture, and sad to say skeet shooter Bill Carter passed last Tuesday and TN shooter Trent Inman’s momma passed last week also. Please remember these families during this holiday season.
Shells and supplies are still being searched for. Recently I heard that Ballistic products had Cheddite available, and you could buy 5000 at a time. Looks like $40 per 1000 and that is not terrible. The Lexington Gun Shop in Lexington is selling shotgun shells of different flavors but only 1 flat at a time. Also, Blue Collar Reloading has recently been able to get STS Light Handicap 1200fps 7.5 and those are the first premium shells that I know of to purchase in months.
Thanksgiving is just a few days away and I believe we have a lot to be thankful for. NC is blessed to have some great gun clubs including Buckhorn, Watauga, Old Hickory, Ft. Bragg, Durham County, Buccaneer and Rockingham. Of course, the NC Homegrounds with 17 trap fields is one of the nicest gun clubs in the Southeast. Not to forget the folks that keep the HG running including Marty Hill and Jimmy Wilson and all the folks that pitch in to keep that big ball rolling. Now I could take time to mention everybody but that would take a while. Oh, I forgot our delegate Bob Schultz and all that he does for trapshooting in the state and beyond. All in all, nothing could be finer than shooting in North Carolina.
Not sure what everyone will be doing on Thanksgiving. Some will be traveling to visit family and friends, and some will stay at home and entertain the family. I always enjoyed having the family over for the big meal and seeing everyone and sending them home with leftovers that would last for days. Of course, I would prepare two plates for later and the one I would take to the gun club on Friday while my wife was out shopping. I mean I could shoot if I wanted to or help folks get the traps setup or just relax and enjoy my leftovers. Whatever you do I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving and try not to eat too much.
OK folks that is about it for this week. Going to be a short few days before Turkey Day. Ft. Bragg use to hold their shoots in November and Marty would deep fry a couple of birds and it was always a great time had by all and sure miss those days. Hello to Scott in PA, Ronnie, Cowboy, Tim, Bobbie, Thea and Anne and until next week…………smokem
